No size zero for my girl Esha


No size zero for my girl EshaHema Malini is quite against size zero figures.

Her reason for this is that she believes the structure of one's body is god given.

According to her, when in public, an actress needs to look good. Looking too thin or too fat is not the sign of a healthy person.

She adds that she has asked her daughter Esha Deol to not be very thin as she doesn't need to change he look.

Esha, who will be re-launched into Bollywood, has always had an athletic figure and was also good at sports when she was in school.

Well, isn't that lucky? After all, not everyone is blessed with a good figure, right?

Saif Ali Khan's hairy issues


Saif Ali Khan`s hairy issues!Saif Ali Khan can't decide what to do. He loves his current long hair but can't decide if he can keep it for his film, 'Agent Vinod' or not.

He was recently spotted talking to his hairdresser Aalim Hakim about hair maintenance for almost an hour before he could start shooting for a commercial.

Saif asked Aalim if he should keep his hair long for his role in 'Agent Vinod' where he plays a slick spy or if a crew cut would go better with the character.

According to Saif, he will be doing a look test before the film starts to decide if his long hair will stay or not.

While he personally prefers the long hair, he will accede to director Sriram Raghavan's wishes if the latter asks him to cut his hair. Hope Saif can decide what the best look is and 'grow' out of his troubles soon enough.

No Big Actresses Wants To Be Jessica Lal


No Big Actresses Wants To Be Jessica Lal Rajkumar Gupta’s film, ‘No One Killed Jessica’, stars Rani Mukerji and Vidya Balan as a journalist and Sabrina Lal, Jessica’s sister, respectively.

However, this has lead to a problem in casting a popular actress to play Jessica Lal, as her role is comparatively very small.

Since the director and the producers have no choice, they will have to settle on a newcomer for Jessica.

According to sources, actresses who had been approached for Jessica’s role backed off as soon as they found out that Vidya and Rani had the big roles.

Rajkumar Gupta, the director, however states that their reason for choosing a newcomer for Jessica is so that the audience feels the impact of the crime which will happen only if the girl is a new face.

Miss India who chose not to enter BollywoodBeauty queen Pooja Chopra, who was crowned Femina Miss India World 2009, says she is "not in a hurry for Bollywood".

"There are a few scripts that have come my way. I won't say none of them is exciting but the fact is I am not in a hurry to get into Bollywood.

I will direct Abhishek Bachchan myself


I will direct Abhishek Bachchan myselfBy Subhash K Jha

It looks like Anurag Basu's proposed project with Abhishek Bachchan will have to wait.

Producer Goldie Behl who recently announced a film starring Abhishek Bachchan to be directed by Anurag Basu to be produced under Goldie's banner Rose Movies, has now decided to first direct his own film starring Abhishek Bachchan before going on to Anurag's film.

Goldie says he doesn't want to wait as long as he did between his first directorial undertaking Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai and his second Drona to make his third film.

Says Goldie, “There was a gap of seven years between my first and second film. I got distracted by many things. I don't want to wait at all to start my next film. ”

Goldie is the process of locking in on his third directorial venture to start shooting before the year ends. Abhihek Bachchan's presence is a given.

“I can't dream of making a film without him. He's my brother, ” says Goldie emotionally.

However the reason why Anurag Basu's project has been moved forward is a little more complicated. Basu is busy with the pre-production of his film starring Ranbir Kapoor. His project with Abhishek for Goldie Behl has been pushed to the next year.

Says Goldie, “That's true. Anurag starts anothers film before he starts mine. That's an important project for our banner because it is the first production from Rose Movies to be made by an outside director since my sister Shristi and I took over.

If you remember, my father Ramesh Behl had started the banner by giving a chance to Ravi Nagaich to direct The Train. With Anurag Basu we hope to carry forward the tradition of using promising directors. Anurag has come up with a wonderful concept. ”

Unfortunately Anurag's script is far from ready. So Goldie gets to direct Abhishek first.
